Allan Roth would have been proud of CNBC  Me, Not So Much

Roth was one of the first major league baseball statisticians, working for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Andy McCue wrote a fine mini-bio of him; you can find it at https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/350155ef

Why compare him to CNBC?  Just look at the banner at the bottom of the screen, especially during market volatility.  "Dow is down 3 of last 8 sessions" or "Market Up first time this month" or "Lowest Since Credit Crisis". 

All of which leads us to ask are we watching business news or a sporting event?
